[QUOTE="Formula51, post: 2867383, member: 19833"] This would be absolutely retared. To list all the intervals is meaningless and I do not believe Automobile did this breakdown anywho. Regardless, this would be like listing 60-0mph, 70-0,mph,80-0mph, 90-0mph, 100-0mph, etc Braking. The Z06 would win them all but all we need to show is which car stops better, one number is enough. We could compare acceleration with 1/4 mile time and speed, as I did, since this is a very common number and compares the cars up to over 125mph. Also, it was reported by both magazines (not speed in Automobile). We could also replace the 1/4 mile with 0 - 150mph which would be a useful acceleration comparison, but was not recorded by Automobile. To look at say ONLY 0-60mph does not cover a broad enough range of the two cars acceleration. However, it is not a bad statistic to include WITH 1/4 mile or 0-150mph. We are trying to compare the two cars overall performance. Thus, we need acceleration, braking, cornering, and the culmination of the three: track times. I don't need to claim it, at this point that is what the numbers show. When it comes to overall performace, the Z is equal or better, so far. Now, is the FGT a different class? Yes, I think it is in a different class because of its high price, low production, and unique appearance. The same reason why a Ferrari is in a different class than the Z06 even if it gets its butt romped by the Z. THIS is where FORD deserves all the credit.
